Quite an important movement Is
going on in local temperance circles
which is liable to create quite sem
sation in the Presbyterian denomina-
ton. 1t grows out Of the meeting of
General Assembly at Minneapolis
last May, when, it Is alleged, Rev.
DR.. Crosby and Rev. 6. D. G. Mar
quls, leading the anti-prohibitionists,
despotically smothered memorials in
favor of prohibition. The memorials
were sent up by the Central and
West End Woman's Christian Tenn
perance Union, of St. Louis, and as
they contained the names of over
400 Presbyterians Of this community
it was considered certain that they
would get a hearing. The memoir
ials were directed against the habits
of wine drinking in vogue among
the professors in Presbyterian semin-
aries, and they were based on the
principle that if railroad companies
can prohibit their employees from
drinking, the great Presbyterian
church ought much more to prohibit
its teachers. These memorials nev-
er were presented, and Mr.. VIM. @.
Wilson of this city, who has led the
fight for submission in Missouri, at
once accused the officers Of suppress
ing them. DR.. Marquis, the moder-
ator Of the General Assembly, denied
that the officers had ever come into
possession of the memorials. Mr..
Wilson sent out tracers in the post
office and received the information
nfficially that the memorials had been
delivered to the committee on arrange
ments of the General Assembly.
Mr.. Wilson wrote to members of
the committee and from them receiv-
ed explicit denials that they had
ever seen the memorials. Relying
upon the information from the post
Office department Mr.. Wilson is car
rying the war into Egypt. The
memorials and all the correspondence
that ensued on the question of their
suppression he has collected and
issued in the shape Of q pamphlet
with the title: sAlcohol-Its infa-
ence and power" The title is but
a thin disguise for the attack on the
Crosby faction contained in the cor
respondence. He has had thousands
of these pamphlets published, and is
sending them to every Presbyterian
church IN the country. AS the little
book Impugns the veracity of those
who stand high In the church, the
local temperance people, who are
being so aggressively defended by
Mr.. Wilson, are standing back,
waiting to see his bomb burst. It is
not considered unlikely that it will
result in an investigation by the next
general assembly, as 1t Is claimed
that the Crosby Marquis faction have
too long stood in the way Of the
church taking a stand for prohibit
tion, and now that they have caught
on the hip they ought to be s'drown-
ed. "-Post-Dispatch, March 10th.

OH Westville, fare you well,
Once loved and cherished homa,
Many of US must bid the adieu,
And in far of cities roam.
Our worshipped and deeply grieved fol
town,
Now sinks and WiIhers away,
But we'll always, and ever think of thee
Each year, and month, and week, and day
Each friends thoughts you may easily
Reed,
As they extend their hand to part;
But the depth of woe is experienced
Only by the aching heart.
We hoped to see thee blazing star
Chief city in oil the West.
But Shannon [shine onI as thou hast
ever done;
Ged worketh al. things for the best.
This is Riley subject to all,
Who in Westvile long has dwelt.
And the deepest sorrow ever known
By the Westvilleites is felt.
But despair thou not fair city,
For soon We all may note
That thy daughters will start the
fashions all,
fits nothing but Redding goat.
You, of only an extremely few,
Can boast of wise Dearman,
And Bells that say in words so clear
being made on Gods own plan)
How much Pan costs here7
Besides SO many Johnny jump-ups gay;
Why should we weep when such as these
Beneath our gaze will stayH
OH thou hast many charms
To Coy us back to thee,
And for this end we'll often pray,
Beside our Couch on bended knee,
And hope the glorious sun
Ere long will shed its Rays,
And lift US from this grieYous state,
Out of this dismal Hays. (haze)
And thou tat hath deceived US so,
What must be our feeling there?
We must Knott hate thee-Nol
But then its hard to say ''little 90 we care"
Now as the Breeze-the bamly Breeze,
Our mourning hearts floats DER,
Wen close Ger lips and meekly say,
"W ait till it blows from a milder shore"
"For, ever since our childhood's hour,
We've seen our foudest hopes decay"
We never raised calf, or COW; or
Hen that laid an egg day,
But it was marked" and took away.
No, we never raised little pig,
To glad US with its sunny eye,
But when twas grown up, fat and big,
And fit to broil or roast or fry,
We could not find it in the sty.

A problem which is attracting to its
study astronomers, relates to the earth as
q timekeeper. We measure time by d.
viding either the period during which
the earth revolves around the sun, or that
in which it turns on its axis. By the
first method we measure a year; by the
second day. The earth, according to
some astronomers, is losing time.
Through two causes, the suns attraction
and the friction, so to speak, of the
tides, the earth each year revolves more
slowly on its axis. The speculative
question which these astronomers are dis
cussing is whether in the end the earth
will stop its revolution upon its axis and
will present always the same face to the
sun. When that event occurs there will
be perpetual day in one part Of the earth
and perpetual night in another. But
there is no occasion for immediate alarm.
The rate at which the earth is supposed
to lose time only shortens the year by
half second in a century. There are
more than 81, 00O 900 seconds in a year.
Therefore, if the earth ever does cease to
revolve on its axis it will be more than
six thousand million years before it will
stop.

Electric power has been applied in a
very novel manner Of late on the estate
of the marquis of Salisbury at Hatfield,
England, where it has been in operation
for some time past in various ways and
works; but the last is perhaps the most
peculiar of all. On one of the farms en-
silage has been stored in large quantities,
farm building being turned into silo
for this purpose; and, it being decided
that the green food shall be ''chalTed"
before placingi it in the silo. chaff cut
ter has been erected about twenty feet
above the ground. This machine is not
only driven by the electric power, but
the same motor is employed to elevate
the grass to the level of the chaff- cutter.
This is done SO effectually that about
four tons of rough grass are raised and
cut per hour. A sixteen light Brush
machine is the generator, driven by a
huge water-wheel, and both are on the
banks of the river Lea, mile and half
distant. Nor is this all, for the same
electric power is ingeniously applied to
work the cliffs" in use at the many hay.

gave my friend very polite parting sa-
lutte. Passing through the crowd in the
depot, my friend noticed number of
gentlemen taking off their hats to his
quondam travelling companion, and he
enquired who he was, and was Informed
that he was the Duke of Argyle. "WelI."
my friend, American-like, replied, 'he
is a gentleman even if he is Duke"-

He Didn't jump.

Sunday afternoon man suddenly ap-
peared at a three story window in an un-
finished building on Grand River street
and seemed to begin preparations to
commit suicide by leaping to the pave
ment. A crowd Of forty or fifty people
speedily gathered in half circle below,
and although all seemed to be aware Of
what was going on not voice was
raised to prevent the stranger carrying
out his designs. He removed his coat
and looked down as if estimating the
distance. Then he removed his vest
and looked down again Some of the
crowd asked each other in low tones if
his intention was to jump, and were an
swered that there was no doubt of it.
The man removed his collar and tie after
his vest, and then spit on his hands and
took his position square in the window.
No one below moved foot. There was
half minute of silence, during which
everybody mentally calculated on the
exact spot he would strike, and some
thing like a shudder passed over the
crowd. Then the unknown spit on his
hands once more, raised them above his
head, and calmly remarked:

Mr.. Lui. of the Chinese consulate in
New York, says that there are about
1000 Cinnamon in that city, or one-tenth
of the who'e number in this country and
about third as many as there are in
San Francisco. There are 2, coo or 2, 500
in the suburbs of New York. He says
that they are fond of the metropolis and
are better treated there than elsewhere.
Very many are married to white women,
and in many instances these have proved
happy unions. He declares that it is a
mistake to suppose that all the China
men are seeking wealth in this country
with the idea of retur hing to China with
it. Could they become citizens many
would do so, az they like this country
and are fascinated by the comforts and
advantages of Western civilization. They
would not be as happy in China and their
only object in returning, could they do
so and then come back here, would be to
see their parents. Mr.. Lui complains of
the injustice of American laws regarding
the Chinese, but speaks hopefully of the
near prospect of a revocation of those
that prevent immigration and naturaliza-
ton.

According to the Overland China Mail

According TO the Overland China Mail
a method of suicide of an original char
actor has been invented and carried in
to successful effect in Hong Kong by a
Chinese servant Of the name Of Young
Yan-Hing In the first place he attempted
to pass out of life by the commonplace
method of dose of opium. He was,
however, brought round by prompt meas
urcs taken by Chinese doctor, who re-
sided in the same house. But he was
not to be baked in his intention, and
two days later he procured heavy ham,
mer and long nail, and with the for
mcr he drove the latter so deeply into
his skull that, although every effort was
made at the government civil hospital to
save his life, he expired the next day.

destruction who will hammer nail into
his head. 1t would be difficult to
imagine any form of suicide demanding
